FASHION FOCUS: Up Against the Wall!! (a few times)

So aside of the thought of having hot sex up against the wall (because I know that’s where you all went with that title), my fascination with walls in general is something I just recognized recently. Whether the walls are painted with murals, blank and plain, covered in graffiti, or whether they’re walls of nature, a good wall will always pull me right in front of it.

Recently on vacation in Los Angeles, I started to see wall after wall and think, I need pictures in front of some of these walls. Immediately the thought  “this needs to be a project!” rang in my head!  So I took  a few shots in LA and upon returning to NYC realized that I could search my stock and find more, and I DID!  Let’s start with the most recent and travel backwards….
